The Cottage Garden

The Cottage Garden is alive with colour and texture. Plants sit together to create crowded bursts of colours which spill over rockeries, paths and garden ornaments. Usually, the plants used in this type of garden are fairly traditional types - daisies, roses, lavender which create a sweet, timeless and soft look.

Different scents are an important part of a cottage garden, with a rich array of herbs and flowers that fill the air with perfumes.

Herbs fit beautifully in the cottage garden, either in the ground or in lovely pots amongst your flowers.

A cottage garden is about a love of plants and nature.. Remember, despite their rambling looks, be careful to plan your cottage garden carefully, and harmonise colour and foliage to avoid a messy, ramshackle look.
